AI Tools Hunt
Conditional free route ai-directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- A $0 'Free Listing' option exists on the form but is explicitly labeled 'Not Guaranteed' — the guaranteed path is $15 priority review
Requirements
- AI tools only; pick one AI Tool Category on the form
- Required fields: tool name, website URL, category, description, logo/favicon URL, your name, email, consent checkbox
- Optional: company/founder name, LinkedIn or X URL
- Consent: 'I confirm that I am authorized to submit this tool' — submit as owner or authorized agent
- Manual review implied by the priority/free split
Prepare before opening the form
- Tool name, website URL, category, description
- Public logo or favicon URL
- Submitter name, email, company/founder name, LinkedIn/X URL
- $15 if priority review is wanted
Workflow
- Open https://aitoolshunt.com/submit-ai-tool/
- Fill the required fields including logo/favicon URL
- Choose 'Free Listing – $0 – Not Guaranteed' or 'Get Priority Review — $15'
- Tick the authorization consent and Submit
- Listing appears in the directory under the chosen category if approved
Watch for
- Free tier has no guarantee — it may never be reviewed/published
- Small WordPress directory despite the '4,200+ tools, 140+ categories' claims — self-reported numbers
- Refund Policy page exists — read it before paying the $15
- Form fields are mostly text + URLs — no file upload; the logo must already be hosted
What counts as live
The tool appears in the aitoolshunt.com directory under its category with a View link
Not verified
- Free-tier review turnaround (or whether it happens at all)
- Whether outbound links are dofollow
- What 'priority review' turnaround is — no SLA stated
